Gas in the oil, HELP :(

[lexan_122874 at hotmail.com (Lexan Blanchard)]

Well, looks like Gordy was correct.  Checked metering plate and it moves 
freely, and sits in the correct spot, etc.

Pulled fuel distributor (how many fuel lines does it take to run a car!!!).  
The plunger pin is stuck up in there and I can't get it to move.  Guess that 
is the culprit.  So, off the parts places.  Hopefully I can get one of these 
without breaking the bank.

Maybe, MAYBE, this will be it and the car will start.  I want to drive this 
car so bad I am having dreams of being behind the wheel.  I have the stereo, 
and the shocks will be here Friday.  Just need the sway bars and we are in 
business.  Oh yeah, gotta get insurance and tags ;)

Thanks again all!
Lexan
